You Are Invited to a Fall Gathering of Our Hudson Valley Community

For the weekend of October 28, 29, and 30th, we the people of the Bob and her sister community in Germantown declare our home Open, and we invite you in hopes of new friendships and a lovely time. May our broader community of good people be ever-expanding, ever connecting! Let’s talk of our resources, of what we want and what we have. And locally, we must know each other to call upon and to make merry!

Camping is welcome on our land if it’s warm, and all over the floor of our house if it’s chilly. We will feast nightly around 7 o’clock in the barn, potluck style! We invite music and performance, films, information sharing, and the like. There will be various farm projects to work on throughout the weekend.

The gathering will be held at our farm on 9G in Germantown, at number 4872. We’re about 2.5 miles north of the town’s 4-way intersection. You can get to 9G from 199 off the Taconic Parkway at the Red Hook/Rhinebeck exit, or right over the bridge from Kingston.

About Me

For a rural community to thrive in the 21st century, we need to work within traditional models of self-sufficiency while simultaneously building broader social networks. We want to create a physical space and a forum for community sufficiency. We are examining the intersection between the cultivated and the wild, working to implement more simple and sustainable systems. These 60 acres are currently home to three small farm businesses.
